Join us for Shabbat lunch and lively discussion as we connect Torah text to pertinent Jewish ideas and current events. Rabbi Shulman will guide our study of Torah, rabbinic commentaries, and contemporary Jewish thought.

As Jews, we are, we want to be, we need to be both a part of the larger society in which we live, and set apart from it in the distinctive, particularism of Jewish identity and experience.

This month, we’ll explore this push-pull of being Jewish by exploring our relationship to Israel as Diaspora Jews. We’ll also look into the history and lore of Hanukkah for insights about what it means to be Jewish in a non-Jewish world.
